Doctoral Project Abstract

The Pilgrimage

Greg Fields
Regent University

The Pilgrimage at Forest Home addresses "the elephant" of nondiscipleship pervasive within and amongst the body of Christ by providing a nine-month, guided residential experience for college-aged people (pilgrims) desiring to be apprentices (or disciples) to Jesus the Christ. Located a mile high in the beautiful California, Mill Creek Canyon setting, The Pilgrimage builds upon Forest Home's profound 70-year partnership with God's church and revolves around responding to Jesus' urging to go and make disciples and baptize people of every nation, demonstrating for them and guiding them into understanding and acting upon everything He commands (Matthew 28).
